Get ‘Em Girls

From the first date to the wedding reception, good food plays an important role in relationships and in life.

The new book, “The Get ’Em Girls’ Guide To The Power Of Cuisine: Perfect Recipes for Spicing Up Your Love Life” by Shakara Bridgers, Jeniece Isley and Joan Davis features a collection of more than 120 of their favorite recipes designed to give women the edge in a crowded dating field and reintroduce them to the art form of cooking.

As professional women, Shakara, Jeniece and Joan understand today’s women don’t have time to be chained to a stove. Defining a Get ‘Em Girl as an ambitious woman who uses unconventional ways to get what she wants, the authors have transferred their corporate mentality to cooking by encouraging women to channel the ambition they’ve used in their careers and put it into the kitchen.

Focusing in on the authors’ southern-girl-in-the-big-city upbringings, “The Get ’Em Girls’ Guide To The Power Of Cuisine” combines recipes like curried chicken and sweet potato biscuits with tips designed to help women bring something new to the table—literally.

Covering everything from pantry essentials and basic kitchen tools to creating the perfect meal in 30 minutes or less, the book offers step-by-step guidelines guaranteed to impress.
You’ll get chapters like It’s Not His Mama’s … But It Comes Close, with a menu inspired by Shakara, Jeniece and Joan’s favorite recipes and A Trip For Two, containing recipes inspired by exotic destinations to add a little spice. The book also includes recipes to complement every stage of a growing relationship, like a Super Bowl menu, a healthy meal plan full of recipes to keep your man in shape and even a Meet-the-Parents Carrot Cake designed to leave a lasting (and delicious) impression.

Though cooking for a lover can be more meaningful than dining out, it’s more than just the food: it’s also about women investing in themselves and in their relationships, say the authors.
